My husband and I spent our wedding night at the Fairmont. It was fantastic. The room, a balcony suite, was bigger than our apartment, paneled in wood, with real books on the shelves and was simply lovely in every way. The desk people were courteous and when I called for information about room service or how to work the fireplaces... more

It's expensive relative to others but you do get what you pay for. Location was unbeatable and the tram stops on the corner, so it's easy to hop into the town or down to the bay. The hotel opposite has a roof top bar but get there early as we had to queue! more

Rooms were small, everything was too expensive. Neat history of the place, but the room was small. more

We stayed for one week at the Fairmont, for a professional convention. We had a room in the tower section, on level 2. The best is to have a higher level, facing the golden gate. It is a huge hotel that could cater for the 600 delegates of our convention. Though, you don’t feel the hotel being that crowded. All... more

The service at the Fairmont was courteous, overall 4-star but a little uneven. At check in the desk was most welcoming and the parking charges were clearly explained at over $50/day additional parking. There are significant additional taxes, so expect sticker shock at checkout. We were appreciative that the desk check-in upgraded us to a larger suite since we had... more

We stayed here as part of our Honeymoon. We knew it would be a beautiful hotel and it didn't disappoint. The hotel is truly stunning & has so much history. The Staff were really friendly and we even got upgraded and had the most beautiful view looking out our window we could see Alcatraz. The room was beautiful too with... more

Let's face it. There is no finer lobby or setting for a hotel. Great San Francisco feel. Location so close to both cable car lines makes the spot very convenient. The realily of an old hotel is smaller rooms, smaller bathrooms and less modern ammenities. This is especially so in the original building. The newer tower is better, but a... more

Overall it was fairly nice, and we got a good deal because we booked with an airline package deal. The room was quite small and the fan in the bathroom did not work. Also, the mini bar was well stocked, but wow, was it ever expensive! I think I paid $6.50 for a can of sprite! The bottle of Evian... more

We had a very nice stay at the Fairmont, and whether you love it or not depends on point of view -- this historic grand dame was elegantly renovated -- but ten years ago.... So, the furnishings are far more luxurious than an average four star, but slightly too worn for top ratings. The beds, however, are very good and... more
